View the video showcasing the history of the Howard-Suamico School District – Looking Back and Moving Forward –Celebrating 50 Years!

In 1961, the Howard and Suamico school systems combined to create the Howard-Suamico School District. That district is celebrating its 50th birthday this school year with events that highlight music, arts, sports and students – from the past, present and future. “This is a milestone for the District as we look at the history,” said Superintendent Damian LaCroix. “We want to acknowledge the past, while still appreciating the present and looking forward to the future. The school systems combined when state legislators required smaller districts to consolidate,” LaCroix said.

Throughout the school year, the district is celebrating its anniversary with a number of events highlighting academics, music, culture, sports and the arts. Members of the original graduating class are also expected to attend Bay Port’s commencement ceremony in June. We are asking alumni for artifacts and memories from the early years to display in our eight schools.
